Nice reviews BB.
TR and Perarasu must be banned from making movies for sake of Tamil Cinema.
People like Kamal, Mani, Cheran, Selvaragavan try to elevate Tamil cinema to a new/higher level, but these idiots just push the standards down to a rock bottom.
Sorry had to vent it out.

excellent review of veerasamy movie. sometime i like to watch these kinds of movies just to see how silly it is. TR's self confidence is unmatched, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu2Y2GPwZGA
. Artist is born not made. Very true.
Namma Praveen's review on 'Veerasamy' padicheengalaa? Padathukketha review :)) Hilarious!!!

lol balaji...
why would u put urself through the torture of watching veerasamy???
hahahahaaa
Balaji.. kudos to your patience and passion for tamil cinema. You have had the distinct honor(?) of reviewing a T.Rajendar (pardon me, Vijaya T. Rajendar) movie and have managed to write 7 full paragraphs about it patiently (let alone sit through 2.5 hours to see it!). For that, you deserve tremendous praise.
Balaji.. would you say that watching a Simbu film is less painful in comparison? I assume you'd be able to see a lot more redeeming factors in Vallavan as a result? :-) ;-)
Actually these kinda movies are quite fun if you watch with a group of friends. We used to bring down the theatre, on screen it would be some tragic scene and the whole theatre would be rolling in laughter.
My most memorable scene for a unintentional comic scene would go to a 65 something MGR telling 'Friends lets goto class' and Nambiar is his class mate. Man that was one cool movie.
I loved Praveen's review for Veerasamy it was awesome.

Balaji,
I`ve been eagerly looking forward to read your review of Paruthiveeran.. Please dont let me down..! :)
With Best Regards,
Srijith Unni.
Srijith overa theriyalai?? This guy is reviewing even Veerasamy, so there is no way he won't miss out Paruthi Veeran.
:)

If I were to make a Tamil movie, I can be confident that there will be at least "one person" in the world who will see and review it!

bb, hilarious review of veerasaami...knew u'd have a field day, writing abt a miserable movie!!!! esp by TR...been a long time since you've given a "bomb" rating, right? had to be TR, no!?!
varraan paaru varraan paaru veera saami...
nee serupeduthu serupeduthu adichu kaami...!
@ ram,
LOL on the varraan paaru paar quote. Gud one!
RS
Balaji, I'm still waiting for the review of Guru!!!!!!!!
Balaji,
Expected a 0* from you.(As the review will be hilarious!).Ramanan has written an 8-page review!(See this-http://dandanaka.blogspot.com/2007/02/movie-review-veerasamy-part-8_15.html).Wonder how he was so patient!
By the way,Vikatan said that it does not deserve a rating!(Rare distinction!)Because;one must give marks for a test;but not a poison test!
Veerasamy by Vijay TR is one of the worst movies of the year/decade/century.. That bearded bear should be stopped from doing anything with cinema..
Simbhu/Dhanush must be embarassed about their Dads.
BBals , I pity u :)
Kuppusamy Nithyanandam
Indha rate-le, Vijayasamy, I mean, Veerasamy(producer-um avare dhaane!) potta kaasa eduthuduvaar polarkke!! :(
Enna Ram .. Neengalum ungaa fiance'um, Veerasamy pathingala ?
B.Bals.. Veerasamy film is a superhit in B,C,D centers.. Can you believe it ?
Yeah, Veerasamy paathu, preview show-la T Rajendar kooda photo eduthundom but BB thaan "bbthots-la photo poda maaten coz I am very jealous"-nu sollitaaru...
paruthiveeran was awesome.
whats your take on it?
-Raapi
Anonymous, there is no such thing as a D centre, and no, Veerasaamy flopped eternally everywhere.
I wanted to come out with the news that Bhavana has signed up for yet another film with Madhavan in Seeman's 'Vaazhthukal'
Any thots?
Aaha... the bomb review for Veerasamy was splendid :) I am almost tempted to watch it now!
Good one Ram.. You guys must be the only couple to be alive after seeing Veerasamy :)
BBals.. Enna Neenga Vijay TR'oda uyir rasiganun sollave illaye..
Also, Veerasamy film Anuvoda pathiya ??? Enna Kodumai
Preethi
Preethi, I was kidding...
For the full-fledged humor and entertainment Veerasamy must have provided, not even a single star? :-)
TR is the greatest comedian bar none. TRku appram dhaan Vivek, Vadivelu ellarume
RS, "had to vent it out" - that was pretty much why i wrote the review too :)
dr, that part about his self-confidence is definitely true :)
mav, padithen sirithen :)
anon, didn't realize the extent of the torture b4 i started seeing it :)
sandya, oh yes, a whole lotta movies become less painful when seeing movies like 'veerasamy' :)
KP, yep that might be the only situation when the film might be called 'entertaining' :)
srijith/raapi, haven't seen it yet. being screened here next weekend :)
ram, i think 'varaan paaru...' was the actual background score when TR showed up on screen. don't tell me u saw the movie??!!
skanda, i felt it was a charming sweet movie... didnt feel it was brilliant or a classic... rating simply reflected that feeling :)
prin, havent seen it yet :)
ganesh, fully understand the vikatan comment :)
anon, no arguments there :)
me too, yeah i know what u mean!
shwetha, not my intention at all... just don't blame me after :)
vijay, thinking about it, i probably did laught more for 'veerasamy' than for many other so-called comedies :)
Noooooooo, bb...i didnt watch the movie...esp. not in the one week i had with my fiancee! i sacrificed jo in mozhi and PKMC for her and u think i'd go watch vsaami with her...!?! cha, ivlo nambikai ungaluku en mele...!! as i told preethi, i was kidding...
the varaan paaru bit- i saw it in indiaglitz.
What Balaji, "Karumbu thinna kooli" became "Karadiyaal kadipada kooli"-ya?
Arattai Arangam he is supposed to moderate, does he allow anyone else to talk?? It must be a huge effort from him if he is allowing someone else to talk.
- KP
Didn't Torturous Rajendar (lol skanda!) enter politics recently? Maybe this film was meant to launch him...
I laughed when I first saw this film was announced long back. TR makes Vijaykanth look like Madhavan!
Balaji, you just might have to listen to Oru Thalai Raagam a few times to wash the memory of Veerasamy from your brain :-)
prin.......so what if they've signed on for another movie.....what are u trying to imply?
Anon, its a comment.
Also, Bhavana had earlier rejected an opportunity with Jeeva, so they would not be romantically linked after signing 2 projects together. When she paired with Bharath twice in (Veyyil and Koodal Nagar) respectively, they were branded as a pair in some gossip columns. So it is a surprise she has signed up for another film alongside Maddy, after their forthcoming project 'Arya'!
Also she has recently objected to star in Silambarasan's 'Kettavan' citing Simbhu has a bad name. :)
